Isabella

"Come on, Isabella, get a grip!" I scold my nerves, taking another swig of the bottle without letting any tequila spill on my expensive dress. I wipe the liquid from the side of my mouth with the back of my hand. "Why are you so nervous? It's just a wedding, and it's Max. He'd laugh if he saw you like this."

Girl, if you don't calm down..., Buffy interjects, breaking through my nervous thoughts. Your back-and-forth pacing is giving MY conscience's conscience a headache. I take a deep breath before another swig. Pull yourself together! Max is probably as calm as ever while you're freaking out for no reason!

As I'm about to bring the bottle to my lips again, a determined knock on the door interrupts me. Damn it! Where's a packet of Sour Patch Kids when you need one?

"It's unlocked," I call out, turning around to take one last gulp. The door creaks open and closes, but the visitor remains silent. Then I hear the lock turning, slowly.

    MaxI only saw her ten minutes ago, but damn, my jaw still drops when the chapel doors open, revealing her in all her glory. I proudly watch as my mother-in-law and brother-in-law join her on each side, slowly walking her down the aisle. What makes me smile even more is the moment Isabella's already beautiful face lights up in recognition at the song I've chosen for the processional. She's absolutely breathtaking, in every sense of the word.I could go on describing the details of the goddess walking towards me, but given that my dick is already as solid as a rock and we're inside a church, I'd rather spare all the witnesses here the image of me ejaculating on the spot. So, for the sake of all the guests, especially Father Raffaelem, who happens to be standing closest to me, let me just stop at she's absolutely breathtaking.Her arrival at the altar can't come fast enough.

    "Whoa!" Avery exclaimed."Look, Avery, there it is – the University of the Philippines," I declared.Avery, my lifelong friend since diapers, turned to me in awe, saying, "I'm at a loss for words, Isabella.""Are you ready?" I asked, my arms straining from the weight of the first of many unopened boxes we still had to carry."As ready as I'll ever be," she replied.With that, we entered the renowned campus, making our way to Manzanita Village, our home for the next four years.Ever since we visited UP during a class trip with Mr. Coleman from Our Lady of Fatima University in the Philippines, Avery and I had dreamt of coming here. We fell in love with the campus atmosphere and the programs it offered – Avery's voice program for her exceptional singing talent and the film and media studies program for my passion for the movie industry. Four years had passed, and now we were living the Filipino Dream.As Avery went to unlock our shared room, she mused, "I can't imagine not rooming with y

    **Update:** After two hours and three vodka shots, Charlotte Collins, though amusingly drunk, is struggling to keep up. She couldn't handle it, and it's not clear why we bothered with fake IDs given our pace. The rest of us managed about five shots on average before leaving the nightclub, but the night was far from over.We're currently taking prepaid Ubers back to Isla Vista for some fraternity parties."Which one should we hit?" William asks as we exit the cars, with Samuel carrying Charlotte bridal-style.Henry advises his brother, "Find the busiest one; those always have the best booze. And trust me, we need it. This tequila won't last for all seven of us."Avery notes, "We're on Del Playa, and they're all packed.""Isabella, your call," Noah instructs. "You've always had a knack for this kind of stuff.""Alright then," I contemplate for a moment before suggesting, "Alpha Epsilon Phi will be too crowded, and I doubt you all want to scrub neon paint off yourselves tomorrow with a h

  • Thrill of the Chase   CHAPTER 3: REUNION REVELATIONS

    My throbbing hangover feels like Super Sonic slamming headfirst into a brick wall, I mused upon awakening.I had only roused myself from slumber about five minutes ago, and while my senses were still hazy, at least I could see again, albeit not very clearly. I remained at the frat house from the previous night, sprawled on a soft couch that would forever bear the imprint of my sunken-in posterior. I gingerly attempted to sit up, but an oppressive weight on my stomach sent me tumbling back down. I closed my eyes briefly, reaching out to remove this rock-like object. To my surprise, instead of a rock, my hand encountered something lengthy and slender—a hand.Upon opening my eyes, I discovered that this hand belonged to my good friend Noah Evans, who was conked out on the nearby table. Emitting a groan, I swiftly liberated his arm from my midsection, inadvertently smacking him in the face and jolting him awake."It wasn't me, honest!" Noah sputtered with wide eyes, before realization daw

    As I scan through the list Avery put together, my initial reaction is a strong urge to smack my head against the nearest wall."Avery," I groan, my interest levels plummeting, "The Bad Boy and the Tomboy? Seriously?" I glance at the rest of the titles. "After? Who comes up with titles like that?"She answers nonchalantly, "Anna Todd did. It's pretty popular." She adds, "Well, whoever she is, I hope her story isn't about some overly good girl losing her virginity to a guy who turns out to be her one true love in the end, or something equally cliche. Ugh, I can already predict my reaction after reading it: three days of non-stop vomiting. I mean, even the title is as cliche as it gets, Avery.""Well, you might not be far off with the vomiting part, depending on your level of innocence. But considering your track record, I wouldn't worry too much.""Come again?""It'll make sense when you get to Chapter 28... and in every chapter after that."I look at her with puzzlement, but this time,

    Despite my sleepless night, I managed to get up and dressed for the first day of school, feeling fully prepared.Once Avery headed off to work, Deborah called to share her job news. She asked me to review my class schedule and email her my availability before completing other paperwork. My sleep had been sporadic throughout the week, making this morning's awakening a struggle."Ready to go?" Avery inquired as she swung her backpack over her shoulder."Now I am," I responded, tossing a blue Sour Patch Kid into my mouth with a wink.She rolled her eyes, smiled, and grabbed a blue candy for herself. We made our way to the English department together, both enrolled in Introduction to Shakespeare with the same professor. Don't ask why; you'll soon find out. At least we had each other in the class."I can't believe this was the only English course left," Avery grumbled as we located seats towards the back of the lecture room. "I adore Shakespeare's plays, but if we have to craft our sonnets

    Since my second encounter with Max, an entire week had passed, during which I'd only discovered that we both had the same philosophy class. I was taking it to fulfill my history or culture requirement.I strolled into the lecture hall for this class, wondering if I'd overslept. It seemed deserted. Panic set in as I checked my phone for the time, only to find out I was actually early. A sigh of relief escaped me. I headed to the seat I'd occupied for the past few lectures, but as more minutes passed with no sign of others, I had a thought. It wasn't my usual style, but my relentless best friend had backed me into a corner.I placed my belongings on the lecture table and occupied a different seat for the next hour.Max entered the room two minutes later. At least, I thought it was Max. He had his hoodie pulled so far down that it obscured his face, making me uncertain. However, when that husky voice commanded me to move, the muscular figure confirmed my suspicion."Why's he in such a fo

    Isabella "Are you alright, bro?" I inquire as I approach Alex on the porch swing of the Carters' old house."I've never been better," he replies, patting the seat beside him. "I just wanted to talk. Even though we FaceTime every night, it's never quite the same as being together in person.""I completely understand," I say, taking a seat next to him and resting my head on his shoulder. He rests his head on top of mine, and we stay like this for a while before he breaks the silence."Do you remember that time when you tried to be Spider-Woman and fell down the stairs?" He asks suddenly, instantly bringing a smile to my face. "You scraped your knee, but you didn't want Mom to find out because you knew she would scold you for not being careful. So instead, you came to me, begging me to fix the cut before she came home.""Yes," I chuckle softly. "I think I was around seven years old, right?""Seven and three months," he responds with a soft chuckle of his own. "And then there was the tim

    ~Five Weeks Later-MaxAfter five years of living on and off with Isabella, you might think I'd grow tired of waking up before her, but no, not at all. Despite both of us not being morning people, the days when I'm up before noon are special because I get to wake up my fiancée. The mere thought of our new reality makes me smile like a lunatic.With that smile on my face, I grab a coffee tray filled with Isabella's typical breakfast and head down the hall to the master bedroom. Once inside, I place the tray on a nightstand before slowly hovering over Isabella's sexy sleeping figure. Knowing she doesn't wake up when I initially touch her, I let my fingers graze her waist as I slide the silky covers off her bare body.She's always been breathtaking, from the moment I first laid eyes on her. Starting with her right leg, bent at the knee, I position myself over it and begin to kiss every inch of her, starting at her toes.My lips move up her sole to her heel, gradually reaching her calf, t

    ~At the Penthouse Suite~IsabellaUpon returning to the penthouse suite with our bags of groceries, Max poses a question."What did the savage mother say to her son when he informed her that his girlfriend was pregnant?" he inquires as we enter, closing the door behind us."You should've used protection?" I jest."Good one, but no," he chuckles. "She instead apologized, asking him who the father was.""Daaammmnnn," I laugh, conceding that it was one of the better jokes. Surprisingly, our banter, initiated at the grocery store, continues to be amusing. "Alright, my turn," I say, placing my bags on the expansive kitchen island. "To make this scenario work, I'll play the mother, and you'll be the son. We'll engage in a short conversation about you seeking permission to hang out with your girlfriend. Other than that, your responses won't impact mine much, so feel free to unleash that creative mind of yours.""Sounds good," he chuckles, depositing his bags on the island. "Ready when you ar

    After a few seconds, Caleb thanks Max for something simple, even though my boyfriend just stated the obvious. Hopefully, Caleb won't feel the need to hide himself after tonight."You can thank us both by asking that Jaxon kid out," Max suggests, handing Caleb a hundred-dollar bill."Okay, forget what I said about Caleb being irresistible; he's beyond that. I can't find words to describe the guy I'm sitting on, who doesn't realize he's making Caleb's night."Caleb, feeling shy and surprised, tries to return the money. He thinks it's too much, but Max insists and places it in Caleb's shirt pocket."I wasn't asking," Max states firmly, ending further discussion.Caleb breathes out in disbelief, scratching his head in embarrassment. "Thanks, man. I mean, I don't know what else to tell you," he says, shrugging helplessly.Max smirks, silently signaling Caleb not to worry. With a nod and an appreciative smile, Caleb goes back inside, probably to find Jaxon and ask him out.Turning to Max, h

I'll be surprised if they manage to hold anything given where we're headed tonight, but hey, I'm too lazy to take them out now."Take your time, I'll be in the living room!"Once I've tucked away the last bobby pin in who knows where, I check myself in the mirror one final time before joining Max."Sorry I took so long," I grimace when I find him on the couch engrossed in Real Housewives of Atlanta."No worries, ba—" His words vanish into thin air the moment his eyes land on me. I can't help but smile when they're replaced with a groan as he bites his fist."How does it look?" I ask, walking over to the door to slip on my white Converse."Like I'm not going to last long tonight," he replies smoothly, turning off the TV to stand up and join me at the door. "Holy fuck, I'm the luckiest motherfucker alive."Melting in his arms when he kisses my forehead, I thank my lucky

Yesterday involved exploring the city where our paths first crossed, but tonight promises an entirely different level of intimacy.The evening kicks off with the comical Valentine's Day cards we exchange..."Why am I not surprised?" I chuckle at Max's card, shaking my head at his cheeky sense of humor."Oh, please," he retorts, "like yours is any better." He displays the card I gave him, eliciting another round of laughter."Touché, touché," I concede, winking as I delve into the heartfelt note inside.Here's my love, take it.Here's my soul, use it.Wait a minute....Completing the remainder of the message, I smirk as my initial suspicion is confirmed.I glance up to find Max beaming at me proudly."What?
